For the first time ever, the USA Triathlon Paratriathlon National Championships are heading to Milwaukee alongside the USA Triathlon Sprint and Olympic-Distance National Championships! This is your chance to race against the nation’s top paratriathletes and compete for the prestigious title of 2026 USA Triathlon Paratriathlon National Champion.
Any athlete that wishes to compete in the National Championship division at Paratriathlon Nationals must be officially classified and placed in a USA Paratriathlon Category as outlined in USA Triathlon’s Competitive Rules. If an athlete does not classify or does not qualify via the time standards, they may race in the Adaptive Triathlon Division 1 (ATD1). Don't miss this incredible opportunity to showcase your skills on the national stage and be part of an unforgettable championship weekend in Milwaukee!
Once you have met the qualifying time for your sport class, please email Chris Palmquist (cspalmquist@gmail.com) and Auburn Bosworth (auburn.bosworth@usatriathlon.org) with your race results, race distance, and race dates to be authorized to register for the 2026 Paratriathlon National Championships in the championship division.
